Can I claim garnished wages?

What are the wages garnished for?

Can I claim garnished wages?

Generally no. A wage garnishment is just a method to pay a bill. If the garnishment is for something nondeductible, like child support, it is not deductible. If the garnishment was for alimony, it can be deductible because it was paid directly.
